The winners of the 2024 Independent Games Festival (IGF) Awards have been revealed as part of the annual Game Developers Conference, and after a largely difficult year for the industry, it’s wonderful to see so many incredible and nuanced games recognised.
The IGF awards seek to recognise the best of the best when it comes to independently-made games, with categories including narrative, design, audio, and art.
The big winner on the night, scoring the Seumas McNally Grand Prize, was Venba. Developed by Visai Games, Venba is a stunning narrative adventure framed from the perspective of an Indian mother, which sees the player exploring the importance of family and cooking.
